520    Regardless of how wealthy or poor their parents are, all 
       black boys must confront and surmount the "achievement 
       gap" a divide that shows up not only in our sons' test 
       scores, but in their social and emotional development, 
       their physical well-being, and their outlook on life. As 
       children, they score as high on cognitive tests as their 
       peers, but at some point, the gap emerges. Why? This is 
       the question Joe Brewster, M.D., and Michele Stephenson 
       asked when their own son, Idris, began struggling in a new
       school. As they filmed his experiences for their award-
       winning documentary "American Promise," they met an array 
       of researchers who had not only identified the reasons for
       the gap, but had come up with practical, innovative 
       solutions to close it.
